The arrested accused were produced before Esplanade Court in south Mumbai

According to the FIR registered by the AEC, the accused are linked to a notorious gangster's network and were reportedly involved in a plan to assassinate an important figure in the city

The FIR states that in mid-February, intelligence indicated that, on the instruction of a notorious gangster, members of his gang had been mobilised in Mumbai

Following two major incidents of firing and murder in the city, officials took the threat seriously and began an investigation

Further information received on March 28 pointed to the gang’s presence near the Platinum Hotel in Andheri, where they were reportedly preparing to carry out their plan
